This was very good! I sort of had my doubts about how it was going to turn out because in making the cheese sauce, there seemed to be too much cheese and it became something that was neither pourable or spreadable - just sort of a big cheesy glob. But I managed to somehow get it evenly over the bacon and eggs. DH didn't care for the breadcrumbs on top, but I loved them. The instructions didn't have a temperature for baking it, but I baked it at 350°. Will make it again but might try sausage instead of the bacon. Thanks for posting! Made for PRMR.
